Host Kate Abdo is the lead Bundesliga studio host, sitting alongside a rotation of analysts including Eric Wynalda. He is the first American-born player to play for a top-level German club (Saarbrucken) and won the Bundesliga Best Newcomer of the Year award in 1992.

For many of the Bundesliga broadcasts on FOX Sports, the broadcaster uses the commentary feed from BT Sport in England instead of the world feed.
